Apple Music today unveiled its list of the top 10 albums of all time, with Lauryn Hill's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" securing the number one spot.
The announcement is part of a 10-day countdown event culminating in a special finale featuring discussions with prominent artists and Apple Music hosts. "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," released in 1998, was praised for its impact and relevance. Hill was given an award made of blasted anodized aluminum sourced from recycled Apple products. The top 10 albums list is as follows:
- 1. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998), Lauryn Hill
- 2. Thriller (1982), Michael Jackson
- 3. Abbey Road (1969), The Beatles
- 4. Purple Rain (1984), Prince & The Revolution
- 5. Blonde (2016), Frank Ocean
- 6. Songs in the Key of Life (1976), Stevie Wonder
- 7. good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012), Kendrick Lamar
- 8. Back to Black (2006), Amy Winehouse
- 9. Nevermind (1991), Nirvana
- 10. Lemonade (2016), Beyoncé
The selection process involved Apple Music experts and a group of artists, songwriters, producers, and industry professionals. This ranking is described as a modern, 21st-century evaluation of the greatest records ever made, created independently of streaming statistics.
In addition to the top 10 list, Apple Music has created 100 audio vignettes to accompany each album on the list, providing context and stories behind the records. These vignettes, along with additional content, are available across Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books.

Cue the boomers in this thread whining that their terrible taste in music wasn't represented lol
Not even a boomer and while this may not be the list based on streaming numbers or anything, this is the music of everybody watching Ted Lasso.

I used to think lists like this mattered in some way, and would argue about them with my friends. Much like I used to think the Academy Awards mattered in some way.
These lists don't matter. Like what you like. No lists such as this represents anything of any consequence outside of the organization that promotes it trying to sell you something ;)
